Don't miss

PUP is the second band to hit the stage and the crowd is pretty pumped to see them.

When the band closed with “Reservoir,” Babcock jumped offstage and crowd surfed with his guitar.

Bassist Max Gregor and singer-guitarist Sheena Ozzella Lemuria walk through the backstage, about to start their set.

Last but not least, headliners The Menzingers take the stage for their sold-out hometown show. The front of the floor is packed with slam-dancing fans and the wings of the stage are lined with friends and family.

After the show concludes, everyone pitches in for the daunting late-night task of loading out.

At 1 a.m., vans and trailers and instrument cases are lined up and ready to load out. The next stop is the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, DC.
